Fibrosis reduction with radiofrequency or RF ...

Over the last 24+ years I have seen countless clients with post cosmetic surgery fibrosis - and even after harsh non-surgical procedures and as such procedures become more and more popular, the number of people with fibrosis increases. Body cosmetic surgery (such as liposuction, cellulaze, vaser, smart lipo etc) as well as harsh non-surgical treatments (such as RF microneedling, extreme intensity HIFU, cryolipolysis, extreme intensity radiofrequency etc) can result in fibrotic lumps or entire fibrotic regions of hard skin around the stomach, thighs, buttocks etc. Fibrosis refers to previously inflamed hardened skin or other connective tissue (or even hard lumps) comprising of scar tissue-type, randomly aligned collagen fibres. This is in contrast to firm, healthy skin, which is comprised of functional, properly aligned collagen fibres. This is sometimes the result of a surgeon doing a bad job; sometimes the result of your body reacting really badly to even the best surgeon’s work; and sometimes the procedure itself being unsafe. After all that I have seen over the decades, I would never undergo…

After more than two decades of working with skin tightening and cellulite removal and after assessing all the relevant technologies I can state that properly applied deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the most effective SAFE skin tightening technology (there are other skin tightening technologies but they are either ineffective and/or unsafe). Deep, strong radiofrequency is also the jointly most effective SAFE cellulite reduction technology (again, there are other skin tightening technologies but they are either ineffective and/or unsafe). Now there are different types of radiofrequency that can be used for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, according to frequency…

How does infrared / red light therapy work?

Energy in every single cell of the human body is produced in specialised cell compartments called mitochondria. Mitochondria is where oxygen is utilised to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell. If mitochondria malfunction then the whole cell malfunctions and underperforms. On the skin, this can lead to aesthetic problems (dull, irritated, inflamed or unhealthy skin). In other organs and tissues this can lead to a poorer state of health, lower energy levels, slower recovery from injuries etc…

Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the strongest SAFE treatment for cellulite reduction and skin tightening. However, even with the best treatment in the world, a protracted amount of time is needed to provide tissues with sufficient stimulation and effect change. So treatment duration for a high quality, strong RF treatment is 20-40’ per side, per area…

Cellulite is just fascia that needs blasting: one statement, multiple levels of ignorance…

If you have researched cellulite you must have bumped on this. Someone one day discovered the existence of fascia and dreamed that “fascia is the cause of cellulite”. And what do you do to fascia? But of course you just poke it, what else? Poke it as hard as you can with a crude fascia “blasting” tool, and your cellulite will go forever, right?

Radiofrequency vs ultrasound cavitation for cellulite and skin looseness

Radiofrequency vs ultrasound cavitation for cellulite and skin looseness

Western diet, civilisation diseases and cellulite

Western diet, civilisation diseases and cellulite

A 2019 paper published in the journal ‘Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy’, examined the profound impact of Western diets and lifestyles on the global epidemic of obesity, and chronic non-infectious degenerative conditions, collectively termed "civilisation diseases" - to which we might incllude the aesthetic condition of cellulite, as the exact same causes of civilisation diseases also result in cellulite development. These conditions/diseases include type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, autoimmune disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, and others. The paper argues that these conditions (to which we include cellulite), are rare or absent…

Why does my cellulite look worse in the summer?

Why does my cellulite look worse in the summer?

The single more important reason for cellulite looking worse in the summer is water retention. Water retention, one of the seven aspects of cellulite, can become worse in the heat of the summer due to vasodilation. In turn, water retention makes the cellulite “bumps” to become enlarged and thighs and buttocks, in general, to become puffy. Water retention can also lead to increased low grade inflammation, another one of the seven aspects of cellulite (the other five being fat accumulation, skin laxity, fibrosis, oxidative damage and glycation)….

Christensenella bacteria and weight loss: what we know so far

Christensenella bacteria and weight loss: what we know so far

It is now well known that gut bacteria influence our body weight and that faecal transplants can turn lean people into obese or - vice versa - they can save them obese people from otherwise incurable obesity. Specifically, christensenella gut bacteria have been found to be more common in lean people than the overweight and obese and they are also highly inheritable from parent to child. In the lab, christensenella minuta bacteria have turned obese mice into lean mice, and when they were transplanted into bacteria-free obese mice, they reversed their weight gain….

Decoding lipedema: from hidden causes to hopeful treatments

Decoding lipedema: from hidden causes to hopeful treatments

Lipedema is a chronic condition characterised by abnormal fat deposition primarily in the arms, hips, buttocks, and thighs, while sparing the hands and feet. For decades little was known about this condition but in the last two decades and especially since 2015 research into lipedema as well as awareness by doctors and patients has increased exponentially. Lipoedema, first described in 1910 by Irving Phillips Lyon as "adipose" or "lipomatosis," was formally delineated in 1940 by Edgar Allen and Edgar Alphonso Hines Jr. as a distinct syndrome involving fat legs and orthostatic edema. Symptoms include pain, bruising, edema, and subcutaneous nodules, which are resistant…

Can an infrared sauna blanket boost your mitochondria?

Can an infrared sauna blanket boost your mitochondria?

The mechanism of action for both red and infrared light therapy, for tissue healing, anti-ageing, skin rejuvenation, overall cell energy increase etc, is their boosting of mitochondrial function by stimulating a mitochondrial enzyme called cytochrome C oxidase. As mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of each and every one of our cells, boosting mitochondrial function improves overall cell function, leading to healing, anti-ageing and better tissue and organ health. More and more people these days learn about this effect of red light and infrared radiation* on mitochondria…

What colour LED light is good for pigmentation?

What colour LED light is good for pigmentation?

Scientific studies indicate that: Yellow light (around 585 nm), red light (630-660 nm), and near-infrared light (830-940 nm) can reduce hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin synthesis, potentially fading dark spots. The evidence leans toward these colours being effective, as they target the processes that produce excess melanin. Yellow light is not that well researched, in contrast to red and infrared which have been extensively researched for decades. Orange light, while not as well-studied, may share effects with red and yellow due to its wavelength proximity…

What is best for cellulite: resistance or cardiovascular exercise?

What is best for cellulite: resistance or cardiovascular exercise?

Weight training is better than cardio for fat loss, right? Wrong. In the past few years people started to believe that resistance exercise is better than cardiovascular exercise for almost everything and especially for weight loss and cellulite reduction. The rationale is that with weight training you build muscle and that that muscle has higher metabolic needs, leading to more calorie burning, “even in your sleep”. However, this effect is exaggerated and the notion that weights contribute so much to metabolism increase could not be further from the truth. Cardiovascular exercise, especially high intensity “cardio”, like HIIT, interval running, spinning etc, burns way more calories than weight training. At the same time CV exercise also leads to long-term calorie burning - not via increased muscle mass, as with weight training - but via increased overall body metabolism and thermogenesis…

Estrogen is the most important cause of cellulite. In fact it is the basis of cellulite. Without estrogen you may get weight gain and/or skin looseness, but you won’t cellulite - and that’s why men* don’t get cellulite. Yes, in addition to estrogen you do need to consume excess calories / eat unhealthily etc, but you need estrogen to turn those excess calories into…

Infrared and red light therapy after ultrasound cavitation

Infrared and red light therapy after ultrasound cavitation

At the clinic we use ultrasound cavitation for cellulite reduction, focused with great precision on the hypodermis and dermis, leaving the epidermis alone, as it should be for this application. And we use LED red light therapy, mainly in the infrared wavelength, to maximise the results of our deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation treatments. It is now firmly established that infrared and red light therapy boosts mitochondrial function and thus cellular energy, and we have observed that when applied following cavitation treatment, it significantly improves the outcomes of cavitation for cellulite reduction…

LED red / infrared light therapy after radiofrequency

LED red / infrared light therapy after radiofrequency

At most clinics LED light therapy is provided after radiofrequency as a means to calm down skin after a very superficial radiofrequency treatment, which can irritate the skin. Low level light therapy (LLLT) in the red (around 630nm) and infrared (around 850nm) wavelengths is known to help calm and heal irritated skin and has been used for this purpose for decades. At our clinic, however, we do not use superficial radiofrequency for skin tightening largely because it is pointless for this purpose: fibroblasts (collagen cells) are found in the dermis (middle skin layer), while superficial RF acts primarily in the epidermis (top skin layer)…

We also do not use superficial radiofrequency for cellulite reduction because it is utterly pointless for this purpose. Fat cells and deeper seated collagen structures

Does lymphatic massage work for cellulite?

Does lymphatic massage work for cellulite?

Lymphatic massage must be the most overhyped proposed cellulite treatment, together with the pathetic dry brushing (😂) and coffee been scrubbing (😂😂), which, of course, don’t work. True, impaired microcirculation / lymphatic drainage is part of the cellulite problem, together with excessive hypodermal adipose tissue accumulation, skin laxity and connective tissue fibrosis. However, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage does NOT do ANYTHING for existing fibrosis, skin laxity or fat accumulation, the other three important structural aspects of cellulite. And when it comes to circulation / lymphatic drainage it only improves it temporarily, for a few hours or days…

Genuine, AI-free content

This website is human-written 100%. We do not use Chat-GPT or any other AI tool for our pages and articles to bombard you with low quality, copy-paste spam articles and inaccurate information.

Chat-GPT and similar tools copy the web to regurgitate meaningless lowest common denominator platitudes, i.e. generally accepted myths that often have nothing to do with reality. Plus plenty of inaccuracies, misinformation and a healthy added dose of literally made up stuff - what AI experts call “AI hallucinations”.

No AI tool has the depth of experience accumulated over tens of thousands of sessions with real human beings (in fact, AI tools have zero experience, obviously). Neither can an AI tool discriminate what is reality and what is made up BS on the web.

Of course, the aesthetics industry is already full of myths, inaccuracies, platitudes and hallucinations anyway, so the advent of AI does not make much of a difference. The beauty industry has always been full of BS (sorry, that’s the correct word), AI or no AI.

So 24+ years on, we still keep it real, regardless of AI.
